Mr. Cammeyer, President of the Union Association, desires us to state that his grounds are at the disposal of the parties who are getting up the match between the heavy weight ball players of New York and Brooklyn, any day they select for the match. The proceeds derived from the entrance fee are to be devoted to some charitable purpose–as suggest by us, to aid the Board of Supervisors in raising the $240,000, appropriated at their least Meetings towards encouraging enlistments. This liberal offer we feel confident will be immediately accepted, and the sooner the match comes off the better.
